Having some trouble...

...understanding the ending. Why do Athena and Helios take away Kratos's armor and everything at the end of CoO? Also, why does Athena think that Kratos "must" live? Sorry if these are noob questions, but I'm not really understanding the ending that well.

Re: Having some trouble...

they take the weapons because they only allowed him to use them until he defeated Persephone. and Athena says he must live so she, and the other gods can use him to do there bidding. like killing Ares. remember this game takes place before the first
